Understanding the Nervous System States

The podcast discusses the two states of the nervous system - the sympathetic nervous system and the parasympathetic nervous system. The sympathetic nervous system is associated with being alert and in a fight-or-flight mode, while the parasympathetic nervous system focuses on rest and restoration. The speaker shares personal experiences of being stuck in the sympathetic state for extended periods, highlighting the importance of balancing both states for overall well-being.

In today's episode, I'm taking a deep dive into how we can reclaim our brains from addictive living and stop numbing those tough emotions and past traumas. We’ll explore the fascinating world of our nervous system, understanding the difference between the stressed-out sympathetic state and the restful parasympathetic state. I'll share my personal journey with addiction, the common ways we numb ourselves (hello, workaholics and Netflix binge-watchers!), and how to develop better self-regulation and coping strategies. Let’s increase our self-awareness and start healing from the inside out, so we can truly create the life we want.
